A week before the tarmac meeting:
>Earlier today, at Lynch’s instruction, the FBI released a partial transcript of the 28 minutes of 911 calls that the multitasking Mateen managed to place from Orlando’s Pulse nightclub even as he was performing the deadliest single-shooter massacre in U.S. history. Conspicuously redacted was the name of the organization to which Mateen had pledged himself and its leader. From the transcript:
>Mateen: I pledge allegiance to [omitted] may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of [omitted].
>Lynch’s exercise in censorship drew immediate ridicule from Florida Gov. Rick Scott, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and others. “Selectively editing this transcript is preposterous. We know the shooter was a radical Islamist extremist inspired by ISIS,” Ryan said in a Twitter statement. “The administration should release the full, unredacted transcript so the public is clear-eyed about who did this, and why.”
